The History behind our Epic Trip...

After both having this idea for more than 10 years, it finally became a reality when I (Frank), retired this year. The Iveco van that I was converting to a camper van (needed to support us on our walk) was nearly finished, so we placed a local advertisment in the Great Harwood "Herald" to request reliable support drivers for the trip. Not only did we get a good response to this advert, but Alison Brown from Radio Lancashire read it and rang us to see if we wanted to do a live show on Fri 23rd. Nov on the Ted Robbins show. We agreed, and had a 20 minute slot - quite an experience! That afternoon we got several replies and now we have all the drivers we need. So our journey starts on 1st April 2008 and you can follow our progress by reading our blogs, which we aim to publish every day/week where WI FI area' s permit.
